Neil Bruce, president and CEO of SNC-Lavalin (now part of Sidara), spoke at the Empire Club of Canada on March 23, 2016, about his mandate to improve the company's performance and results following his appointment in late 2015. He stated that the company made "smart strategic organizational changes" to reinforce its position among tier one engineering and construction firms, and that its five-year strategic plan had "yielded concrete results" including stabilizing the organization and improving costs. Bruce also addressed ethics and compliance, saying the company's commitments allowed it to enter an "administration agreement under the government of Canada's tougher integrity regime." In a November 1, 2018 interview discussing Q3 financial results, Bruce reported that the quarter was "slightly ahead of expectation" with "really solid results" despite political and external pressures. He highlighted a record adjusted margin of 8.9 percent, a backlog of over $15 billion, and $2.5 billion in new contracts across sectors including clean power, infrastructure, and nuclear decommissioning. Bruce expressed confidence in the company's financial position, reaffirming guidance for 2018 and 2019.
